enGluePrint: Floating guides for your mockupshttp://konigi.com/tools/submissions/glueprint-floating-guides-your-mockups

<p>I like the simple idea behind <a href="http://glueprintapp.com/">GluePrint</a>. Drop your mockup or visual design comp onto the app and it provides a semi-opaque window of the design. I can see it being useful for overlaying on top of your browser, like an onionskin, while you're working on front end implementation. And even in other reverse scenarios, like for creating new designs based on an existing version of your product.</p>

<h3>About this template</h3>
<p>This is a template for doing desktop application design using <a href="http://www.bohemiancoding.com/sketch/">Sketch</a>, a vector illustration tool for the Mac. </p>
<p>The idea for sharing this template is to give a quick starting point for anyone who wants to create their visual design comps in Sketch. When I started using Sketch to design and export controls for an iOS app, I quickly started liking the application, particularly the styling properties, simple vector editing and combination features, and the well thought-out grid and export capabilities. Moving on to a Desktop project afterwards, I started to experiment with using Sketch for design comps as well, and have decided to try using Sketch rather than Photoshop. </p>
<h3>How to use it</h3>
<p>NOTE: This file was created using the latest build of the Sketch Beta, so you will have be using the Beta to open it currently.</p>
<p>The template provides the starting point for creating visual design comps and includes an application window with a few basic elements: window, scrollbars, window title and several icons, sidebar, some styled text, system buttons, radios, and checkboxes. You can copy the styles for some of the elements and save them to your style presets to create others. </p>
<p>The template provides a 1024px x 800px artboard with a Comp slice that's ready to export your entire app window. There's a 12 column grid with 60px columns, 25px margins, and 12px padding on the horizontal edges. </p>
<p>You will likely need to modify this template—it's only meant to provide a demonstration of what you can do, and a starting point for new projects. </p>
<p><a href="http://media.konigi.com/tools/sketch-mac-app/MacElements.sketch.zip">Download</a> the zip file and extract it on your Mac. Open the file in Sketch. </p>
<p>You can use the menu <em>File > Save as Template...</em> if you want to save it to your templates.

<p>Since starting work at Balsamiq I've been doing customer support every day. Part of that work is repeatedly referencing the same URLS and instructions for frequently asked questions. Peldi and Val handle the volume by using <a href="http://www.ergonis.com/products/typinator/">Typinator</a>, a Mac utility that lets you define text shortcuts that you trigger to complete these answers.</p>
<p>Years ago, pre-OS X, used something called TypeIt4Me to handle this and am stoked to have this kind of a tool back in my aresenal. The email response stuff is cool, but what I've been using it for most is for all the different kinds of Lorem Ipsum greeking I use. For instance, I have single paragraph, single sentence, title/description/author, etc. What I'm also starting to do is to create these greeked text blocks formatted in Balsamiq's text syntax, which is kind of like markdown or wiki editing syntax. So can text in some controls to use flags for icons, to create font styles. etc.</p>
<p>Simple software like this saves your life from the monotony. This is easily one of the best pieces of software I used daily.</p>
